6.3 Protocol VLAN
Protocol VLAN is another way to classify VLANs basing on network protocol. Protocol VLANs
can be sorted by IP, IPX, DECnet, AppleTalk, Banyan and so on. Through the Protocol VLANs,
the broadcast domain can span over multiple switches and the Host can change its physical
position in the network with its VLAN member role always effective. By creating Protocol
VLANs, the network administrator can manage the network clients basing on their actual
applications and services effectively.
This switch can classify VLANs basing on the common protocol types listed in the following
table. Please create the Protocol VLAN to your actual need.
